Chapter 1463: Surprise and Reversal
In the underground space filled with shouts and explosions, while Lei Xiao was heading to the passage to look for the strange [God's Stone], although our warriors quickly stabilized their morale under the command of Sina and Loris, the already riddled front was becoming more and more shaky.
To be more precise, it was only one step away from collapse.
"I have seen all kinds of scenes and experienced all kinds of disadvantages. Even second-rate forces can't shake me at all, let alone you half-dead guys!"
At the forefront of the battle line, Loris was still screaming with all his might, barely maintaining the morale of the people around him.
At this time, he and other melee warriors of the Rainforest Fortress Alliance had almost been completely separated by the liches and the undead, and were all fighting alone.
Since it was difficult to get support from our long-range warriors, the situation was undoubtedly extremely critical.
On the other side of the battlefield, Xina was becoming increasingly powerless. Around her, more and more of our ranged warriors were seriously injured, and some even fell to the ground and never got up again.
In addition, the warriors under Lei Xiao, who had been fighting to the death, were also becoming more and more out of breath. The energy barriers of many of them were extremely weak. The alchemical puppets commanded by Broy and other dwarfs were scattered all over the ground, and many of them were even directly torn into pieces by the violent undead.
"Haha, they're about to collapse!"
In the enemy's army, the deputy lich leader attacked Fleming frantically, and his withered face was full of reckless looks, laughing wildly: "Crush all these ants who overestimate their own strength!"
"Nonsense, we will never give up until the Lord moves the scales of victory!"
Facing the more powerful Crowned Undead, Xiao Jing tried her best to avoid the opponent's reckless slashing and shouted coldly.
In addition to the Crowned Undead, there were two sixth-level liches hiding in the chaotic army with sinister smiles, shooting cold arrows wildly, which made Xiao Jing even more embarrassed. The energy barrier around her was forcibly hit by several undead rays, and it was already in a state of collapse at any time, so that she didn't even have enough energy to escape into the shadows, and couldn't enter the cracks in the space to escape.
Even so, Xiao Jing still gritted her teeth and persisted. She clearly understood that once she was defeated, she would inevitably fall asleep for a long time, which would weaken the Lord's power and make it impossible for her to protect the Lord. So no matter what, she must not fall here!
"You are so embarrassed, but you are still holding on."
Looking at Xiao Jing's slender body that kept staggering, one of the liches who kept shooting cold arrows was full of jokes, waving his staff and grinning: "Go to hell!"
As the voice of the lich who shot cold arrows fell, a white dead soul light shot out from the top of the staff and swept straight towards Xiao Jing's chest.
At this time, Xiao Jing, who had just avoided a heavy blow from the crown dead soul, had not yet stood firm, and the dead soul light was already close at hand. Although she had noticed the crisis coming, Xiao Jing had no time to make any evasive moves.
Noticing this scene, several of our strong men around us all cried out in surprise, but they were all in a state of being unable to take care of themselves and were completely powerless.
The next second, Xiao Jing felt the floor tiles under her feet suddenly flash with golden light, and a soft and powerful energy wave surged out.
Then, a burly figure fell from the sky and easily blocked the dead spirit light shot by the cold arrow lich with a sword.
"It turned out to be you? How is this possible?"
After surviving the disaster, when Xiao Jing saw the burly figure who helped her, she immediately opened her starry eyes.
The one who appeared in front of her was the crowned dead spirit that almost made her fall asleep just now!
The crowned dead spirit did not hesitate after blocking the attack, and swung the giant sword and shot out, slashing at the cold arrow lich.
Because all this happened too suddenly, the lich who fired the cold arrow had no time to react, and was directly split in half along with the energy barrier.
The other lich who fired the cold arrow beside him was not spared either. Just as a trace of surprise appeared on his withered face like a mummy, he was cut off by the crown undead with a backhand.
This surprising scene happened not only in front of Xiao Jing, but also all over the battlefield.
Looking around, at least half of the strong undead made the same move, turning their swords and blades to the lich and other undead, causing many opponents who had no time to react to fall down with howls.
Especially those undead who were originally used as shields, turned around and cut the bodies of the liches behind them, catching the opponents off guard. At least hundreds of liches had their heads and bodies separated before they could figure out what was happening, and fell crookedly.
For a moment, the entire battlefield was reversed in an instant. Our front line, which was on the verge of collapse and was separated, began to stabilize and close together at a rapid speed, while the remaining liches and other undead began to retreat step by step, and were in a state of being unable to take care of themselves, let alone besieging us.
This is no wonder. There are nearly 10,000 undead who suddenly turned against us, which directly made our originally weak side instantly occupy an absolute advantage in strength and number.
With the rise and fall of one side, and everything happening too suddenly, it is not surprising that this situation occurred.
"What happened?"
Seeing that the undead who had just tried to kill us suddenly turned into friendly forces, Xina also opened her beautiful eyes wide, her fair face full of disbelief.
"No matter what happened to him, since the other party has started killing each other, this is a good opportunity for us to take advantage of it!"
After the undead strongmen who frantically besieged him turned to swing their sharp blades at the surrounding lichs, Loris did not hesitate at all. He directly started fighting side by side with the undead strongmen, killing several of them in a row. The shriveled head of a lich.
"What on earth is going on?!"
On the other side of the battlefield, the smile of the Lich Deputy Leader, who had been laughing wildly just now, suddenly froze, with a look of despair on his face.
"Sir Deputy Chief, with that weird golden light just now, those undead souls escaped from our control!"
The embarrassment on the withered face of the other lich was palpable, and he responded: "They seem to have become sane on their own. They even formed a fighting team with each other, and they cooperated extremely closely!"
"I've seen all this, why do you still need to talk nonsense here?"
The deputy leader of the lich slapped the other lich away, and tried to control the crowned undead again, but it had no effect at all. To be more precise, he completely lost control of the crowned undead.
You know, the Crown Necromancer is his main Necromancer. There has never been any trouble before, but now not only can it not be controlled, but it is full of hostility towards him!
"It must have been the golden light just now, but what on earth was it?"
Just before the Lich deputy leader could figure out the situation in front of him, screams sounded from around him.
I saw that the lich who was slapped away just now had half of his body cut off by the heavy sword, and the owner of the heavy sword was the crown undead.
"Lich, it's time to repay the blood debt of the past!"
A hoarse and firm voice came from the body of the Crown Necromancer. After saying that, he waved his giant sword and went straight towards the Lich deputy leader.
"The lingering bastard, let me die again!"
The deputy leader of the Lich was shocked and obviously realized something. Thousands of bone spears were overwhelming, shooting towards the crown undead.
At this moment, Lei Xiao's figure appeared at the entrance of the passage just now, shouting: "The strong men of the Broken Valley Alliance, the lich is also our mortal enemy, drive them away and kill them all!"
Behind Lei Xiao, the strange stone elf also stood up and followed with all his strength: "Everyone, this human majesty is a good person. It is he who activated the magic marks hidden on you!"
Hearing the shouts of the strange stone elves, the morale of the undead warriors who stood with us became even stronger, beating the lich and other undead souls to the point where they could not even lift their heads.
"Broken Valley Alliance? The alliance that was destroyed by the Lich back then?"
Hearing the sound, Xina and Loris were startled for a moment, and then they suddenly became enlightened.
According to historical records, after the strong men of the Broken Valley Alliance were completely annihilated by the lich, they indeed became the first batch of undead to be controlled by the lich, and they were also entities with deep resentment towards the lich.
In this case, it is not surprising that the other party attacks the Lich without any reason.
But after thousands of years, how did these former strong men of the Valley Alliance achieve this? To be able to successfully escape from the control of the Lich is simply unheard of!
But no matter what, all this must be the result of His Majesty’s efforts just now. With the addition of this new force, we have successfully leveraged the scale of victory!
Thinking of this in their minds, Xina and Loris both looked high-spirited and commanded their strong men to attack the astonished lichs.
At the entrance of the passage, Lei Xiao nodded slightly as he saw the unstoppable momentum on our side.
Let the strong men of the Broken Valley Alliance who were once controlled by the lich regain their sanity and escape from the control of the lich. This is the last resort mentioned by the strange stone elf just now.
It is also the reason why the magic circle was activated just now. It is precisely because of the activation of the magic circle that this method that has been buried for thousands of years can be successfully implemented again and becomes the weight for us to lever the scale of victory.
Through the information Xiaojie obtained from the strange stone elf, Lei Xiao learned more.
In fact, the core of this method is to inject a special magic mark into the bodies of the strong men of the Broken Valley Alliance, so that their life origin will not completely dissipate after their death, but part of it will remain in this special magic mark. , in other words, this magic seal is a special container.
In addition, this engraving is also a sacred attribute. As long as the mind is restored, it can assist the main body to completely cut off the control of the lich.
However, the engraving is extremely hidden and can only be activated using a special magic circle, otherwise it will not be noticed by anyone at all, so the current situation has arisen.
Except for the command hall where the magic circle switch was located just now, this is the core of the magic circle. The energy fluctuations emitted are enough to restore the sanity of all the strong men of the Broken Bone Alliance in the entire dungeon.
"This also explains why the strong men of the Broken Valley Alliance did not use this method before the destruction, because this method can only be used after being converted into undead."
Lei Xiao's face showed a touch of nobility, and he looked at the fighting undead warriors of the Broken Valley Alliance.
The surface of their skeletons was gleaming with faint golden textures, which was the manifestation of the activation of the engraving. Even though these strong men were turned into undead, they were still determined to fight the liches to the death. It was really admirable, but also sad and helpless.
After all, even if this last resort was activated, they could only move in the form of undead, and almost lost everything they had before.
It is conceivable how much effort they put in to fight against the liches, but in the end, it was difficult to avoid the moment of destruction.
"According to the description of the strange stone elf, when the liches attacked this underground city, which is the last fortress of the Broken Valley Alliance, the soldiers of the Broken Valley Alliance, including the Crown Undead, fought back, but were eventually wiped out."
"Originally, according to the predetermined plan, only the strange stone elf was left to activate this last resort. As a result, before the strange stone elf had time to activate it, it was discovered by the liches. It was outnumbered and tried its best to escape, but eventually fell into a deep sleep because of its serious injuries."
"Fortunately, the strange stone elf chose a very hidden place, so it was not discovered by the liches. Until today, because of our arrival, the liches activated the gravity trap, and the energy fluctuations that were stirred up shuttled back and forth in the underground city, which made the weak stone elf wake up, and then a series of events just now happened."
Thinking so, Lei Xiao also rejoined the battle and commanded our strong men to block all the passages to prevent any fish from slipping through the net.
It didn't take long. After our strong men fought side by side with those of the Broken Valley Alliance, most of the liches and other undead were quickly wiped out, leaving only the deputy lich leader and some minions struggling to hold on.
"You ants, don't think that this can change anything!"
The deputy lich leader was already very weak under the attack of the crown undead, Sina, Loris and others, but he was still very stubborn and said with a grim face: "Even if you defeat me, what? After this, you will encounter bone-chilling cold and despair, and you will all be crushed into powder..."
Before the deputy lich leader, who was already at the end of his strength, finished speaking, the giant sword of the crown undead drew several silver tracks in the air and directly chopped him to pieces.
After the death of the deputy lich leader, the other minions were also quickly wiped out, making the hall quiet again soon.
For a moment, even though they had just fought side by side, our strong men and those strong undead men from the Broken Valley Alliance kept a considerable distance from each other while looking at each other.
Then, the Crown Undead took a step forward and walked in front of Lei Xiao. (End of this chapter)
